INTED2023 brought together more than 700 delegates from 70 different countries (source: https:\/\/iated.org\/inted\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n About the NEMOS Project<\/strong><\/p>\n The NEMOS project acknowledges sustainability as an increasingly crucial skill for graduate and post-graduate students to tackle important global challenges such as climate change, food waste and the loss of biodiversity in their professional future. Therefore, the project aims to define a new educational model to integrate sustainability competences in the curricula of food-related degrees by means of service learning.<\/p>\n Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, the NEMOS project is led by the Public University of Navarra and includes the following consortium partners: Technological University Dublin (Ireland); Technological University Graz (Austria); Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes Higher Institute of Agriculture (France); University of Pisa (Italy); and IGCAT.<\/p>\n
